The old fashion bomberman game. Developed in C for learning purposes.
This project is under the GNU GPLv3 license.
I will only talk about windows's users since Linux's users should already know how to do this.
To compile the sources, you should have MinGW installed on your machine as well as SDL2, SDL2_images, SDL2_ttf and SDL2_mixer libraries.
Refers to google for installation informations or maybe go to this tutorial
Create a new C project (if the choice is given, select the MinGW compiler). Next, fetch my repository sources using a git client (I personally use this one):
$ git clone http://github.com/jhoukem/Bomberman
Then extract all the files from the repository to your project root:
$ mv Bomberman/* my_project_root_path/
Go to: Project -> Properties -> C/C++ Build -> Settings
In the tool settings tab, expand the GCC C Compiler option. Click on the 'Includes' folder from the sources.
In the include paths window, add the 'headers/' folder.
Still on: Project -> Properties -> C/C++ Build -> Settings
In the 'Tool settings' tab, expand the MinGW C Linker option. Click on the 'Librairies' folder. Then on the libraries windows, add the following libraries (the order is important):
- mingw32
- SDL2main
- SDL2mainSDL2_image
- SDL2_ttf
- SDL2_mixer
- pthread
This should be sufficient to compile the sources (if you have installed the SDL2 libraries on your computer) but if you want your '.exe' file to have a icon (which is nicer) then you will have to follow these two more steps:
Still on: Project -> Properties -> C/C++ Build -> Settings
Go to the 'Build Steps' tab and fill the command input field with the following line:
windres ../rsc/ressources.rc ../rsc/ressources.o
This will create a binary resource for the compiler so it can load the icon into the '.exe' file.
Go back to the 'Tool Settings' tab and in the MinGW C Linker, under Miscellaneous, add a new object with the path to the resource we created:
../rsc/ressources.o
(I used '../rsc' because the compiler current directory will be in the Release/Debug folder in our project so we have to go back once to be able to reach the 'rsc' folder).
And... That's it!
You are all done with the project configuration. Now go ahead and compile the sources (Ctrl + Maj + B). Feel free to add any improvement to the game and make me know about it.
The '.exe' file need the SDL's dll to be in the same folder in order to run. Create a new folder and add the '.exe' file, the 'rsc' folder and all the SDL dll.
Now you can just zip this folder and share it to a friend.
